I normally catch my bigger fish on top. But I didn't list a frog because I seldom fish anyplace that has much grass and I never seem to fish it at the right time for the good frog bite. More important thing is I prefer smallies and frog seems to be useless. But I've used braid line of that brand Runcl. The only issue with that braid is that it fades fast.

Obviously I'm a walleye fisherman. That Salmo Hornet though has caught me many big smallies, it seems the only smallies that hit it are the big one's. My biggest, which I have mounted, was 22" and just shy of 7lbs. I found them in one of my favorite walleye spots, and hammered em for a full week on the Hornet catching 5 over 5lbs within that span.

About Us

Founded in 1999, Michigan-Sportsman.com started as a collection of links to Michigan related sites, and a series of manually edited blogs. It was a marriage of my passions for the outdoors and the internet. In late 1999, we started our first message board. It was one of Michigan's first social networks. Many off-site friendships have formed with others who share the same interests in the outdoors through the site. Thanks for your patronage - Steve
